The Finite Element Method (FEM) is the most frequently used method for the solution of analysis problems in structural engineering, but it is often less successful when used for design problems. Methods based on Cellular Automata (CA) have been proposed as a means to solve both analysis and design problems in structural engineering. Unfortunately, CA has the disadvantage of being much slower than the FEM for analysis problems. In this paper we investigate two methods for using a reconfigurable computer to accelerate the solution of CA solution methods for problems in structural engineering. Our results show that reconfigurable computers have the potential to significantly improve CA solution times. |
